Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

1 cup unsweetened applesauce

1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup diced apples (peeled)

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

1/4 cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.

    Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together applesauce, milk, honey (or maple syrup), eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.

      Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Don’t overmix!

          Fold in Apples and Nuts: Gently fold in the diced apples, walnuts or pecans (if using), and raisins or cranberries (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

            Fill Muffin Cups: Pour the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

              Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

                Cool and Serve: Allow the muffin cups to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy them warm or store them in an airtight container.
